This is a two-pronged question... What is your favorite platforming series? And since so many people will offer the obvious answers of Mario, Banjo, R&C, etc, there is a second part... What is your favorite obscure-to-somewhat-popular platforming game?
I'm writing an editorial and I've done a bunch of research on old platformers and I want to know what games you guys most fondly remember. Thanks!
